0 QUICK GETAWAY AT ACE WATER SPA IN METRO MANILA

Summer heat. I'm sure you've heard the heat index in Metro Manila is getting higher same with nearby provinces. And it's a must to find a better solution how to fight the scorching heat of the summer. I believe most of the resorts and public pools are fully booked til the end of May and it is not surprising. So for those people staying in Manila and have no time for beach, then ACE Spa is a solution for you. Note I'm not promoting this spa I just want to share to you the experience and how to beat the summer heat. The reason why posting this article is just for a quick guide and common questions I had when I first visited this...

0 KOREA 2016: KOREAN VISA APPLICATION

Annyeonghaseyo! It's going to be a kick-ass adventure to winter in wonderland. I'm thinking what would be the official hashtag? Hmmm. 😋 Anyway, this is not the first time I booked a flight to South Korea. I have done this last year, but unfortunately, I had to transfer work and I need money to support. This year, we booked a flight again, thanks to our low-cost carrier, another good steal for a roundtrip flight. This was May so imagine how many months should you wait? LOL. We booked it for 9,116.74 PHP for two. It's just 4,500+ PHP per person. Thanks to Cebu Pacific. I suggest to always check their social media accounts or subscribe...

2 MT. MACULOT EASTER SUNDAY HIKE 2016

#TGGoesHigher our official hashtag for Maculot dayhike. TG stands for Team Guttom and that's my running team. Climbing is not new to me, in fact, this would be my second time to climb Maculot that's why I gave this hike for my team. And one of the reasons why I chose Maculot to be their "first kiss of the mountain" is because Rockies has one of best of the panoramic views atop plus it's an easy climb which is perfect for newbie hikers. I'd like to give thanks as well to Coach Nur (our swimming Coach who is a certified Mountaineer, Swimmer, Diver and one of the strongest triathletes in the country) for helping me guide and making...

0 YOU WILL NEVER FORGET YOUR FIRST!

Oh yes, you will never really forget your first. Now that I'm done with my first marathon, I think it's about time to go back in blogging. Well, running was not the reason why I stopped blogging for a while, work is. But then again if writing is your passion there's really a call that needed to attend. Hindi ko alam kung passion ko ba talaga ang pagsusulat dahil grammar pa lang bagsak na ako. O baka naman sadyang madaldal lang ako. Anyway, I have a lot of things to talk to while I'm gone but lemme focus first what happened on my first marathon. Honestly, I looked myself running in the marathon one day, I've been running for quite...

1 STAYCATION GUIDE: WHERE TO STAY IN BISLIG CITY (MANGAGOY)

Selfie at the terrace at Tyffany's Inn. There are no fancy hotels that you can find in Mangagoy Bislig City. That's why when I was searching for staycation prior for my trip, it was easy for me to find a place. I don't need to check on reviews, the important are accessible to most of the tourist spots, an air-conditioned room, (please don't judge me I can still sleep on budget fan rooms but if I were to choose I want a place where I can really sleep), and of course budget friendly. You have many options where to check in around Mangagoy. I was calling for several hostels and inns, but unfortunately, some of the phone numbers posted are...

0 TRIP ITINERARY: GETTING TO AND FROM BISLIG CITY VIA BANCASI AIRPORT IN BUTUAN

At the Bislig Marker in Bislig Baywalk Bislig City is said to be the "Booming City by the Bay" and I couldn't disagree more because this growing City has a lot of things to offer. Although one of my favorite places in Surigao del Sur is not really part of Bislig yet this is the closest place you can stay with numerous inns and hostels. Enchanted River is the main reason why I wanted to visit Surigao del Sur. I have no idea how to get here and haven't set foot in Mindanao. When I was college I saw a picture of this magical river and I didn't know that it can be found in the Philippines. I thought it was somewhere in Europe or in Americas....

1 SINGAPORE: MERLION PARK AND MARINA BAY SANDS' SYMPHONY OF LIGHTS

Heard the word Singapore? One thing enters my mind is Merlion. This creature is indeed a representation of the Lion City. It is an icon, an 8.5 meter tall statue with a body of a fish and a head of a lion. So that when visiting this state-country, make sure to pay a visit to the Merlion Park.  Merlion Park is not really hard to find, Singapore is just a small country yet the most accessible when it comes to public transportation. That's why when going around the city, MRT would be your best friend. Merlion Park is situated in One Fullerton Hotel, near the Central Business District.  We come from the Gardens by the Bay...
